Dying from Rare, but Fatal MaIady


By the death OF Andrew Wright, of the
firm Of w. * J. Sloane & Co, another re-
markable instance is added to medical
annals. Mr.. Wright, whose home was at
No. 33 West Seventy-second street, died
after brief illness. His death was at
tributed to peritonOtis, but he end came
so soon that his physician made au autOp-
sy and asCertaiued the remarkable fact
that the cause Of the disease was a grape
seed which had lodged in the
appendix verniiormis. This small in
testine, to which psychologists have been
puzzled in assigning a place in
the economy of the human system, is a
perpetual menace 10 life. It is und0uht-
eddy the case that nearly everybody VINO
eats fruit swallows more or less Of the
small seeds or pips, and fortunately result
ant harm is the rare exception and not the
rule.
But when it does happen that seed be-
comes lodged in the appendix yermiformis,
death will almost surely follow, and there
Is apparently no way OF disclosing the ap-
parently trilliug cause hut su autopsy. A
few other cases of this sort have occurred
in New York, but they are So infrequent
that any new example invariably attracts
attention IN medical circles The death of
Greek philosopher from swallowing a
grape seed is perhaps the Oldest case of the
kind on record.

The Supreme Court of Missouri, to
which an appeal had been made as to the
cOnstitutiOnality of the local option law
passed by the legislature Of that State, has
decided that the passage of such law by
the legislature is not an interference with
the local affairs of particular counties, and
that it is not contrary to the constitution.
This decision is in accord with that Of sew
eral other States on the same question, and
is another evidence that this method Of
the settlement Of the prohibition question
will generally prevail. Now that local Op-
ton has been established in Missouri 1t
will probably cease TO be State issue,
and the people Of the respective counties
will settle the matter for themselves. This
is decidedly the better way OF disposing OF
the question, and certainly the most salts
factory and effective.

HANLAN'S DEFEAT.
Cost Of the dispatch Announcing the Re-
suit and the Route 1t Came.
Ph lddelphid Press

Phi Iddelphid Press.
The dispatch from New South Wales an
nouncing the victory in the sculliDg match
there of Mr.. Beach came over twelve thous-
and miles and cost s. AZ a word to send.
1t passed through several cholera-infected
districts without being quarantined, and
after being ''relaid," or given fresh start
half dozen times, arrived in Philadelphia
few minutes after it had been sent.
The dispatch originated at Sidney, then
it went to Adelaide, from there it struck
north, directly across Australia to Port
Darwin; there it diyed into the ocean and
took in Singapore, Penang, Madras and
Bombay, passing through telegraph sta
tons run by operators Of every degree oil
black and shade of yellow, many OF whom
do not know who Beach is. In some
places the wires are strung en- palm trees,
then again they 90 through sandy deserts
and under the feet of caravans. Some
of the people among whom the
message passed were baking in q
sun as hot as Philadelphia hottest An
gust, and others were shivering in Novem-
Der ulsters. The news did not stop to
spread itself among the worshipers Of
Buddha, over whose temples it passed,
but dashed northward to the more hardy
and athletic believers in Christ.
From Bombay the electric fluid went to
Alden, through the Red Sea, skirted the
Suez Canal to Port Said, back to Alexan'
dria, through the Mediterranean to Bona,
in Algeria, by cable TO Marseilles, and
then en- to London. It's route thereafter
became more commonplace, for an every
day sub-Atlantic cable brought 1t to tile
United States.

The BLAINE organs are still harping
on the CRY that the English press IS de-
lighted with Mr.. CLEyELAND's message as
promising discrimination in favor Of for
eigu producers. The thick and thin or
gans never hesitated, but took up the
howl at once "a soon 81 their leader, the
Tribune, gave the signal yelp. They have
been bowling it ever since, many OF them
like our neighbor on Fourteenth street,
keeping misleading paragraphs from one or
two English journals standing in Fal'e
type, to sling in their editorial columns at
intervals.
The more reputable journals OF the Re
publcans have, however, been slow to
JON in the chorus, some fatty refusing to
be party to this fragrant miSstatement Of
facts. The majority, however, judging from
a perusal of our exchanges, have yielded
10 what seems to be the official order from
Paris, and are now engaged in repeating
the wonderful falsities which Mr.. BLAINE
sent over from Paris over two weeks ago,
and which the Tribune has been printing
with variations ever since. 1t Is enough
TO let the current news by cable reply to
these ridiculous statements. The day be-
fore the publication OfMr. BLAISE'S inter
view declaring that the London papers
anticipate an enlarged market for English
fabrics in the United States as cOnse-
Quence OF the Presidents rtcOmmenda-
tons, -" the summary of the views OF the
London press, By cable, showed just the
opposite.

done, every observant business man
knows, and il is time for Legislators to take
eognizance of the fact. The law of re-
ceivershipsis in need OF fulrevision, as
is the whole law, indeed, touching public
corporations.
''It is worthy Of note that the abuses
alleged and complained of in the open
letter are OF precisely that kind that
prompted the passage OF the Interstate
Commerce act. That act was q clumsy
and ill-eonsidered attempt, which ia capa-
bic of more harm than good, but the
abuses at which it aims are real and
grieyous"
This is true and it is the duty of State
Legislatures to see TO it that the spirit or
intent OF the Interstate Commerce law
is carried out. If there are short cOmings
in this law let the State Legislatures make
no for them to the best Of their ability.
1t is the duty of our Legislature to ex-
anime into the subject and frame such an
act as will hold railroad companies operat-
ing under the laws OF this State liable for
the violation of the spirit and purpose OF
their public contract

The refusal or failure of the grand jury
IN New York City to take up the cases Of
fagrant fraud at the last election Is ere
ating much quiet comment. The fact OF
the preparation of fraud, especially in
what is known as BARNEY ROURKE'S
districts, " was notorious through the expos
ures made by the press Immediately after
the election; the City Reform Club also
presented its statement, and full presen-
tation of the case was submitted to the
District Attorneys office at the same time.
Some of the afidayits are curOsities. The
statement OF one KING, who was solicited
with money to vote ON another mans
name, is interesting. He objected that
the risk was too great Tor the pay, and
was told:
ooh, sure, you have been around here
long enough this morning to see how things
are. The collars meaning the police are
with us. Why, the inspector IL Repu9-
lican, the captain Of the precinct IL one,
and so is the sergeant; 50 that you have
nothing whatever 10 fear. Come on, Will
yet YOU the name to vote on; l will 10 and
see Tom Nicolls; he has charge OF US.
There is Martin Kirby and Kid McManus,
the fellow who was cOllared for the
Bridgeport Job, and Red Sullivan-we
have all done our bit; or / will take you
up to Tom Sullivan" So walked up
the street with him, and l asked him who
would see me through if l got the collar
He said: why, Barney Rourke." l said;
who is he?" He said; why, the man
who runs the precinct, with John J.
O'Brien to back him. Who ever heard OF
any one that had Barney to their back
getting into trouble who did not soon get
out oft? But You need have no fear; you
watch how Tom Sullivan does it.
Notwithstanding this we expect to hear,
in the coming campaign, the Republican
stump performers still denounciug the solid
South as the plauge spot of this nation.
Yet we venture to say, and base the asser-
ton ON recent publications in the North
American RerierC and other reputable jour
nails, that in all the Southern States there
is not as much election fraud as there is in
the single Northern city Of New York.

RAILROADS AND THEIR PUBLIC
OBLIGATIONS.

In another column this morning We re-
publish from the columns of the New York
Commercial advertiser 9n open letter ad-
dressed to the stockholders Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad Company from
THEODORE WRIGHT, President OF the
winifrsde Coal Company, calling their
attention 10 the state OF affairs that now
exists on that road and On account Of
which Mr.. c. p. HUETINGTON has asked
that a receiver be appointed. MrWRIGHr
recommends an investigation into the
management of the c. X . aud gives his
reasons therefor.
As an instance of injustice tn the stock
holders ard the public he cites the expert
ence of the Wlniirede Coal Company,
which has been, he alleges, Disseminated
against in favor Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Coal Agency and Othyr favored par
ties till not a car OF the Winifrede Com
pany's coal goes over the road. This COM
pany 5 mines have a capacity of 1000 tons
daily, 50 it will be seen by this discrim-
ination alone much revenue ia cut eff from
the road.
The franchise of a railroad is Q public
trust and if the road be used for the fur.
therance of certain private interests to the
detriment of others, or if there be any fail
ure or refusal of such company 10 perform
such public service as is required Of it, that
trust is violated and the spirit, if not the
letter, of the contract is broken.
The Commercial Adrertiscr, commenting
upon the letter of Mr.. WRIGHT, says:
THE case presented by the writer Of the
open letter seems TO be one in which the
powers of a receiver have been used with
out due regard to the public right 1t
illustrates one OF the ways in which the
large powers granted by the law to re-
ceivers may be so exercised as to work
wrong and injustice. That there are many
other ways in which this may be and is

HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN SOCIETY.
How "A Washington Young Woman Makes
Guests Hold Up Their Hands.

Yourg ladies in society sometimes DO
queer things, but seldom does one venture
on such remarkably bold lire OF action
as one young person did in this city while
at a dinner party not many moons ago.
During y lull in the conversation she qui-
ely remarked TO the Young gentleman
who took her into dinner, Let me see
your pOCketbOOk."
Not knowing what to make of such q
peculiar request, the young man quietly
produced his pocketboOk and handed it to
her. She took it, calmly opened it and
took out a roll of bills amounting to $500
all the money it contained. Then say
ing to her victim, IL will buy me ring
Tomorrow" she az calmly handed back
the empty leather case to him and put the
money in her own pocket.
The man preferred to lose the money
rather than press his claim for it upon her
relatives, and submitted to what was
simply o piece Of bIrefIced robbery. But
he won't escort that young woman TO an
other dinner table, even if he lives to be as
Old as George WashiDgton's lavorite body
servant.

Of DR.. John T. Lee will be a candidate

Within the next twenty-four hours another

course none of the offices will go begging

ments to occasion strenuous efforts on
the part of the Republicans and in
cumbents to get Democratic alderman
to refuse 10 caucus with his party and
thus bring about tie. Thus far overtures
in this direction have proved unavaling,
and it is certain that no Democrat would
hazard his reputation or betray his trust in

interest. Aids. Morse, CIoutier, Mareck
and Mills are the candidates.
